Setting up DosBox - FUUUUUU-

[Grunker]

It's not that I like mac, but I got one for free. I felt like playing Stunts, Eye of the Beholder, that kindda shit, and I knew DosBox was available for mac, so I thought "what the hell, let's do this shit on my laptop."

I can't even get the basic functions to work. I must be a retard or something.

When I attempt to give the command to mount a c-drive, following the instructions of every goddamn tutorial I can find, DosBox doesn't understand me. Basically, what I'm doing is this:

Mount c c:\OldGames

Alternatively, I've tried making the folder in my user-folder, so it goes something like this:

Mount c c:\Grunker\OldGames

It tells me the directories don't excist. What the fuck am I doing wrong?

Nevermind, I'm a retard. I got it working.

I like this thread, it has a lot of hope and happiness in it.

I assume you already know that OSX uses Unix-style pathnames?

Nope, as I said, I'm a retard. I don't know much about anything else than windows. But I got it working, so I'm killing kobolds as we speak.

Nice gui for dosbox I used when I had a mac

You're a fag for not throwing the mac out the first thing after receiving it.

Hmm. I can't get Lands of Lore to run properly. It runs the intro, goes to the character select screen, and when I select my character, it fades to black. Anyone else had this problem?

Mine isn't a CD-version. However, seems the problem was only there with version 0.73. 0.72 works fine. So now I'm also Kieraning away.

Damn. DosBox rox.

It runs just fine on the earlier version. Install both.
